I really like my job. I'm really enjoying what I do. No really, for the first time in umpteen thumpy years, I'm not getting depressed on Sunday nights... I'm not dreading Mondays... See me, I'm all fired up about the projects in hand, the budgets, the stocktakes, the Bank Review Panel. I like my team of fellow weirdos. I like the policy wonks on the third floor, the ego driven marketing team, and the "who knows what the hell they do" admin team next door.Check out the seminars and conferences!International Financial Reporting Standards for SMEIFRS for SMEs Hwo to convert from UK GAAPCross Border Charity Regulation in ScotlandAnd next week I get to go on the Tax Update course!

I know.. I know.. I know you're thinking WTF? HOW did this happen??BC Got that right Macy!

Yeah, yeah, the pay's realtively shit, and the vendetta beetween me and the Head of IT is shaping up nicely. But see, when you've had crap jobs for the past 20 years, when you've been through the Work-65-hour-weeks-or-we'll-say-you're-crap culture of Big American Banks. My god, some kind of record seems necessary.

Even in this age of mind-numbing paperwork and excessive workloads, I'm shocked you haven't enjoyed work for so long. Glad that's changed all of a sudden. Cross Border Charity Regulation? Goodness, a subject to conjure with....

Nick - True. I spent too long in the Financial Sector.In these times of DEVOLUTION, "Cross Border Charities" actually includes those that straddle the border between England and Scotland.... a fact I find really sad.

It didn't take me long to work out that a job you enjoy doing is worth a hell of a lot more than the money you can get by doing something you dont like.Especially when you can leave it each night and on the weekends and it does not consume the rest of your life.Enjoy it

Welcome to the car crash...

I have a complicated bereavement. I was only reconciled with my ex, W, months before he died of cancer. Luckily (for him) I was made redundant and able to care for him while he died here at home - October 20th.Currently getting through it with our son, aka the Cherub, dog Ned, and friends here in CHEESETOWN.
